Grace Hospice is seeking volunteers to become trained companions for our hospice patients. We have a patient who resides in an upscale memory care facility in Mishawaka who needs a companion:
- Offer companionship and support to our patient and their family members
- Read books, play music or just watch television
- Run errands for patients or provide relief for their caregivers
- Play music, do crafts, garden, light housekeeping for our patients
All volunteers receive training and support to make sure that they are comfortable with their assigned tasks. After training is completed, you can determine how much time to commit to Grace Hospice. Whether you dedicate as little as two hours per month or eight hours per week, all efforts are extremely appreciated.

Mission Statement
Our mission is for each employee to treat every patient as their own treasured loved one, providing care that affords a quality of life that outweighs quantity of days, and supports caregivers as their hearts find healing.
Description
HarmonyCares Hospice of Indiana is the first HarmonyCares Hospice in the state and has Nurses, CNA's/Hospice Aides, Social Workers, Chaplains and Volunteers that assist the patients and support their families wherever the patient considers their "home" to be.
The hospice philosophy focuses on comfort care not curative care. The goal of hospice care is for the patient to remain as comfortable and pain-free as possible in their own home or the home of a loved one through the end of life. Hospice care can also be provided in a long-term care facility or an assisted living facility.
Hospice is a philosophy of caring for patients whose medical conditions are not responding to treatment or for those patients who choose not to seek aggressive medical care at the end stage of life. It is a program for patients who are considered terminal and are expected to live six months or less if the disease follows its natural course, although many patients outlive this time frame.
We strive to improve the quality of life for all we serve including our patient's families, their neighbors, and the community they live in. We strive to make an impact with everyone we meet and improve the community as a whole.
Come make a difference with the first HarmonyCares Hospice of Indiana. This is an opportunity that will change your life.
